ARLINGTON, Texas -- For the second straight start, backup Chris Stewart will catch left-hander CC Sabathia, who will open a three-game series against the Rangers tonight. Sabathia will be opposed by Rangers lefty Derek Holland. Both southpaws will face a tall task tonight because the Rangers and Yankees have crushed left-handed pitching through opening weeks of the season.
